On The Menu: Madtown Munchies

Sivan and Jeremy, UW History Majors and owners of Madtown Munchies

I talked to these two entrepreneurial college grads about their UW-Madison campus business, Madtown Munchies, and will post their story next week. Good looking, aren't they?Sivan reminds me of Bianca from AMC (All My Children), you know, Eden Riegel, Imaginary Bitches.Jeremy started the business in his Madison apartment. Today Madtown Munchies has an office on University Avenue and a warehouse with six freezers. They deliver snacks all night and way past bar time by bicycle, in Wisconsin weather.Do you know what it's like to ride a bike full of groceries in five feet of snow? I do. Here's a reminder.

Over here in the UK, after what seems like just a few snow flakes - the schools close, and the country grinds to a halt! We talk about the weather a lot, but don't seem to be able to cope even in a small amount of snow.Course I work in walking distance, so I never have any excuses for not going in!

Hi Cinabar,Funny, you think of a Dicken's London and it always seems to be snowing.We've gotten an incredible amount of snow again over the last few years and I remember riding my bike in it when I was on campus.I'd think with all the colleges across the pond, at least in some areas, this kind of thing would take off with the students.
